Du Xiaokang was wearing a slim-fitting suit, and his deep magnetic voice came to Xu Chengye's ears.
This greeting caught the attention of Yang Lina and her husband.
Xu Chengye had no choice but to muster up the courage to turn around and look at Du Xiaokang with a smile.
"Hi, Lao Du, what a coincidence."
Xu Chengye smiled awkwardly, and Du Xiaokang squeaked coldly when he saw Xu Chengye's miserable look.
"Master Xu, what kind of trouble has he caused again? His face is so stained and his mind is running wild."
Du Xiaokang put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked at Xu Chengye from head to sole.
“I didn’t read the almanac when I went out recently, and I was bitten by a dog.
But Master Du, where are you going?"
"I really feel sorry for Master Xu. Even if his brothers don't want to see him, even dogs don't want to see you.
You didn’t do something so heinous that even a dog wouldn’t let you go, right?”
Xu Chengye felt a little unhappy when he heard Du Xiaokang's words were full of sarcasm.
You know, they were good buddies in high school.
Thinking of the past, Xu Chengye couldn't help but think of a person.
I don’t know, is that person okay?
Xu Chengye was a little dazed thinking about this. When he came back to his senses, a familiar face slowly walked towards this side.
"Brother, why did you go so long?"
When Du Xiaoyu appeared in front of Xu Chengye, Xu Chengye looked a little stunned.
"Oh, it's okay, I met an acquaintance."
Du Xiaokang tilted his head and smiled tenderly at Du Xiaoyu.
Compared with the previous Du Xiaoyu, the current Du Xiaoyu has a hint of maturity and stability in his eyebrows, and seems to be a bit more indifferent.
She glanced at Xu Chengye indifferently and nodded to Xu Chengye without much negotiation.
"Then I'll go eat first, and you can come here early."
After Du Xiaoyu finished speaking, he walked past Xu Chengye like a stranger.
At this moment, Xu Chengye's heart throbbed violently, and the memories from two years ago suddenly came to his mind.
In my memory, Du Xiaoyu wore two braids two years ago and was always following him like a little fool.
He hated being followed, and would always take advantage of Du Xiaokang's absence to impatiently urge Du Xiaoyu to stay away from him.
One day two years ago, Du Xiaoyu stopped Xu Chengye and handed him a love letter.
Du Xiaoyu couldn't fall into his eyes at that time, so in order to prevent her from appearing in front of him, he read the love letter in front of his friends.
When Du Xiaoyu left the party, her usually crescent-shaped smiling eyes were filled with twinkling tears.
Seeing her turning her head and wiping away her tears as she fled in panic, Xu Chengye suddenly felt as if he had lost a piece of his heart.
Du Xiaoyu ran away, and Du Xiaokang's usually enthusiastic eyes towards him were filled with coldness and disgust.
From then on, the Du brothers and sisters really seemed to disappear, never appearing in front of him again.
They hadn't seen each other for more than two years. When they met again, Xu Chengye looked at Du Xiaoyu, who came slowly and calmly, and his heart suddenly felt paralyzed, making him feel depressed and uncomfortable.
He seemed to feel that his hands were shaking uncontrollably.
Today's Xiaoyu is no longer the silly girl she used to be.
He can't reach her now.
Xu Chengye felt that he had never been so embarrassed as he was now, and Yang Lina and Li Jingming on the side also saw the clues.
Yang Lina rested her head on Li Jingming's shoulder, obviously acting like a bystander.
Du Xiaokang saw Xu Chengye's face turning dark and white for a while, and then he let out a cold squeak.
"If I had known today, why bother in the beginning?"
Du Xiaokang put down these words and passed by Xu Chengye, who had his head hung down and suffered a huge blow.
As soon as Du Xiaokang left, Xu Chengye slumped down opposite Yang Lina and his wife.
Seeing Xu Chengye's helpless state, Yang Lina wondered if someone who could subdue Xu Chengye had appeared?
She looked up at Li Jingming with a gossipy look on her face, her eyes almost narrowed with laughter.
"Do you know this person?"
"We know each other? The man is my good friend in high school, and the woman is my good friend's sister."
Xu Chengye's mind went blank. In fact, he didn't hear clearly what Yang Lina asked just now.
Yang Lina said "oh" meaningfully, and then said to Li Jingming mysteriously: "Husband, I bet you that Xu Chengye definitely has an unexplainable relationship with that girl just now."
Li Jingming chuckled, took Yang Lina into his arms, and rubbed her head with his big hands.
"It seems that he was once an infatuated person."
After Li Jingming finished speaking, Xu Chengye let out a heavy sigh, got up and went to smoke near the toilet.
***
At the dining table in the next carriage, Du Xiaoyu looked at the food on the table in front of him and had no appetite at all.
Du Xiaokang felt heartbroken when he saw his sister like this.
Two years ago, Xu Chengye did not hesitate to humiliate his sister, whom he had doted on since childhood, in front of so many people.
At that time, she was rejected by the boy she liked and was depressed. She locked herself in her room every day and cried all day long.
His sister had been lively and active since she was a child. After being humiliated by Xu Chengye, a coward, her personality changed drastically.
What made the siblings even more devastated was that their parents and eldest brother were murdered in Yang County.
When this bad news came, their Du family had undergone earth-shaking changes. Her younger sister had not shed a single tear until now.
Du Xiaokang went to Yang County this time because he found clues about the murder case that year. When he left, he was afraid that his sister would do something stupid, so he took her with him.
If he had known that he would meet a loser like Xu Chengye, he would have postponed his trip to Yang County for a day.
At this moment, seeing Du Xiaoyu staring at the food on the plate in front of him without saying a word, Du Xiaokang lost his appetite.
"How are you?"
"Brother, I'm okay, I just don't feel very hungry."
"Not too hungry?
Didn't you just say you wanted to eat?"
Du Xiaokang knew that his sister was a persistent person. When this happened two years ago, this stupid girl didn't even have the slightest emotional outburst. This was what frightened and frightened him.
There were only two siblings left in their family of five. He couldn't just watch his sister become depressed.
"Xiaoyu, everything is over, we still have to look forward.
My brother promises you that when this case is over, he will take you abroad, okay?
When we go to places we have never been before, as long as my brother is here, I will never make you afraid."
Du Xiaokang said, and touched the top of Du Xiaoyu's head. Du Xiaoyu smiled, but was afraid that Du Xiaokang would worry him, so he forced himself to eat slowly.
Du Xiaokang sometimes wanted to tear Xu Chengye to pieces, but he didn't.
After all, my sister still has him in her heart.
That coward, that waste, it's best never to appear in front of Xiaoyu again.
When Du Xiaokang thought of this, his hand holding the chopsticks tightened, and a hint of fierceness flashed in his hand.
